Orange

Famed for its fresh produce, cool climate wines, colourful foliage and snowy Winters, Orange is a gorgeous getaway in Country NSW. Discover award-winning restaurants, boutique shops, beautiful gardens and bustling markets, all set in the shadow of a striking ancient volcano.

A great way to learn about the history and heritage of Orange is to ramble along the self-guided Orange Heritage Trail. Pick up a brochure from the Visitor Information Centre, where the walk begins, and wind your way around the pretty streets and parks. You’ll see more than 40 places of historical interest and beauty.

In between sipping on stellar varietals, factor in some time to visit the Orange Botanic Gardens and Orange Regional Gallery. The four distinct seasons in Orange paint the parks and gardens in broad brush strokes of colour and Cook Park is like an artwork in its own right. There are also gift shops, boutiques and private galleries to explore.

Getting to Orange is easy. The drive west from Sydney through the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains takes 3h 40 min. You can also take a train or fly to the town’s airport. You’ll find plenty of places to stay, from the grand Duntryleague Guesthouse to charming cottages, B&Bs, motels, pubs, and caravan and campsites.
